Master of None, if nothing else, is unique in its unflinchingly honest portrayal of the intricacies of dating, friendships and just trying to exist and "get by" in New York City. Aziz's Dev is a short Indian with an uncommonly tall Caucasian best friend - the show frequently acknowledges their size difference to great comedic effect. His other best friends include a well-meaning but clueless Indian, LGBTQ+ black woman, and an Asian man portrayed as existing in the sweet spot between sweetheart and womanizer. I highlight the diversity of race in order to appreciate how the show allows the cast to be diverse just because they happen to be so. They aren't caricatures of their communities or defined by their race. This review is truncated and broad because that's what we do here - the characters on the show are quite the opposite. They are fully realized and consistently hilarious. The writing is top-notch. Real Quick: The arc between Dev and Rachel is beautiful in its sincerely unbiased and un-saccharine portrayal of the trappings of well-intentioned romantic cohabitation.
